If it isn't Bush, it's Newt Gingrich, or it's Tom DeLay, or it's Frist, or it's Bush, or it's Rumsfeld, or it's Cheney, or it's Sarah Palin, or it's Joe the Plumber, or it's Rush.
The target will never be anyone leading their own party.
Yes, we could do the same. Not just individual targets but slogans, buzz words etc.
Make more effort with our own slogans and sound bites. Long explanations, even when informative, don’t resonate with the sheeple.
For example, don’t let them push the “Fairness Doctrine” when it’s really the Progaganda Doctrine or the Indoctrination Doctrine - or hopefully something even better. The RNC needs to hire the best PR and marketing people to come up with better slogans and brief but accurate position statements.
